Yes, it does go both ways, gosh who would think politicians do what is politically expedient? However I think Kevin misses the greater point of Jon Stewart's bit. For years Fox news demonized liberals, and now they've become them. That's the true irony, now, if Democrats were more like Republicans...
I'm sorry, I can't stand reading Kevin's letters. Cut the pompous language, would ya?
I think this little video on Politico by one of the prominant Code Pink people is an interesting commentary on the 'screamers' at health-care town halls:

That being said, I wish EVERYONE would conduct themselves civilly at these meetings so that time isn't wasted and the debate can continue, Democrat, Republican, or whatever party alike.
...which was my point in putting the video up here. Kevin makes the claim that Democrat screamers are criticizing Republican screamers; this is one case where his assertion just is not true.
Debating Truthteller (aka Kevin) is always frustrating because he takes one piece of evidence and blows it out of proportion to make broad generalizations that support his theories.
He is not intellectually honest, but don't tell him that because I don't have the time to read pages and pages of utter nonsense.

Code Pink, pfffffffffftttttt... I have seen some real "Screamers" from some great demonstrations they have held in front of recruiting offices...
ReplyDeleteWatch the video and you'll see the point. She is not condemning them.

ReplyDelete...and his evidence is almost always irrelevant...of the 'not according to blah blah blah' variety.

ReplyDeleteFunny cartoon that is telling, I think...
Astroturf isn't dissent, it's just more people being duped by the insurance lobby, the same way they were duped by the Bush administration.
